Golf ball
A golf ball including an outer surface having dimples located on the outer surface, at least one core, at least one mantle layer, at least one cover layer, and a plurality of images located on the outer surface, the images being provided with at least two contrasting colors, wherein the plurality of images each have a Major Peak Ratio of between 0.18 and 1, a Major Valley Ratio of between 0.18 and 1, a slope value of between −5 and 5, and an intercept value between 5 and 80.
1. A golf ball comprising an outer surface having dimples located on the outer surface;
at least one core;
a ball center;
an equator plane that passes through the ball center;
at least one design element plane that is offset by a first distance from the equator plane that passes through the ball center;
at least one cover layer having an outer surface;
a base color located on the outer surface; and
a plurality of images located on the outer surface, the plurality of images being provided with at least a first contrasting color, that is not the base color, and at least a second contrasting color, the first contrasting color and the second contrasting color have an absolute value difference between CIELab L values of between 5 to 70, an absolute value difference between CIELab “a” values of between 3 and 50, and an absolute value difference between CIELab “b” values of between 5 and 90;
the first contrasting color having an absolute value difference in CIELab L value, relative to the base color of the ball, of between 30 and 90 is provided; and
wherein at least 5% of the plurality of images have a border design element that is a contrasting alignment feature aligned on the first design element plane, wherein the border design element includes a triangle-shaped element and a quadrilateral-shaped element.
2. The golf ball of claim 1 , wherein at least 20% of the plurality of images have the first contrasting alignment feature.
3. The golf ball of claim 1 , wherein at least two images of the plurality of images have a border design element that is a contrasting alignment feature aligned on the first design element plane, wherein the border design element includes a triangle-shaped element and a quadrilateral-shaped element.
4. The golf ball of claim 3 , wherein at least three images of the plurality of images have a border design element that is a contrasting alignment feature aligned on the first design element plane, wherein the border design element includes a triangle-shaped element and a quadrilateral-shaped element.
5. The golf ball of claim 3 , further comprising a second design element plane, wherein at least two images of the plurality of images have a border design element that is a contrasting alignment feature aligned on the second design element plane, wherein the border design element includes a triangle-shaped element and a quadrilateral-shaped element.
6. A golf ball comprising an outer surface having dimples located on the outer surface;
at least one core;
at least one cover layer having an outer surface;
a ball center;
an equator plane that passes through the ball center;
at least one design element plane that is offset by a first distance from the equator plane that passes through the ball center;
a base color located on the outer surface; and
a plurality of images located on the outer surface, the plurality of images being provided with a first contrasting color and a second contrasting color, the first contrasting color and the second contrasting color have a ΔE*ab value relative to the base color of the ball that is between 40 and 100; and
wherein at least 5% of the plurality of images have a border design element that is a first contrasting alignment feature intersected by the first design element plane, wherein the border design element includes a triangle-shaped element and a quadrilateral-shaped element.
7. The golf ball of claim 6 , wherein at least 20% of the plurality of images have the first contrasting alignment feature.
8. The golf ball of claim 6 , wherein at least two images of the plurality of images have a border design element that is a contrasting alignment feature aligned on the first design element plane, wherein the border design element includes a triangle-shaped element and a quadrilateral-shaped element.
9. The golf ball of claim 8 , wherein at least three images of the plurality of images have a border design element that is a contrasting alignment feature aligned on the first design element plane, wherein the border design element includes a triangle-shaped element and a quadrilateral-shaped element.
10. The golf ball of claim 8 , further comprising a second design element plane, wherein at least two images of the plurality of images have a border design element that is a contrasting alignment feature aligned on the second design element plane, wherein the border design element includes a triangle-shaped element and a quadrilateral-shaped element.
11. The golf ball of claim 10 , wherein the first design element plane and the second design element plane are parallel with the equator plane.
